Abstract

Under the Order "animal" means any kind of mammal except man; and any kind of four-footed beast which is not a mammal. The landing in the Falkland Islands of an animal brought from a place outside the Falkland Islands is prohibited; prohibition shall not apply when the landing is under the authority, of a licence previously granted by the Director of Agriculture, and in accordance with the terms and conditions subject to which it was granted. It is the duty of the person having charge or control of a vessel in harbour in the Falkland Islands to ensure that an animal to which this paragraph applies which is on board that vessel- (a) is at all times restrained, and kept securely confined within a totally enclosed part of the vessel from which it cannot escape. (b) does not come into contact with any other animal (other than an animal that has been transported to the Falkland Islands); and (c) is in no circumstances permitted to land.
